• Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
• Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
• Ensure the firearm is unloaded before placing it into or removing it from the holster for the first time.
• Regularly inspect your holster for wear or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
• Ensure the retention strap is properly secured when the firearm is holstered.

Attaching the Holster to Your Belt

The Galco Fletch High Ride Holster is designed for belt carry. It accommodates belts up to 1 3/4 inches wide. To attach:

1. Thread your belt through the two belt slots on the back of the holster.
2. Position the holster on your hip for comfortable and accessible draw. The high-ride design ensures the firearm sits close to the body.
3. Ensure the belt is tightened sufficiently to prevent the holster from shifting during movement or draw.

Initial Firearm Insertion and Break-in

1. تأكد من أن سلاحك الناري غير محمل. Double-check the chamber and magazine.
2. Carefully insert the firearm into the holster. It may require firm pressure.
3. Once seated, secure the reinforced thumb break retention strap over the hammer/slide.
4. Leave the firearm holstered overnight to allow the leather to conform to its shape. Repeated holstering and drawing will further aid in the break-in process.

استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها

Holster is Too Tight

New leather holsters are often tight. Continue the break-in process by repeatedly holstering and drawing your unloaded firearm. Leaving the firearm holstered overnight can also help the leather conform. Some users apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a very thin layer of silicone spray (avoiding contact with the firearm) to the inside of the holster to aid in smoothing the draw, but this should be done sparingly and with caution.

Retention Strap is Difficult to Snap

During the initial break-in, the retention strap may be stiff. With the unloaded firearm fully seated, firmly pull the strap over the hammer/slide and snap it closed. Leaving it snapped overnight will help stretch the leather. Over time, it will become easier to operate.

Holster Shifts on Belt

Ensure your belt is of appropriate width (up to 1 3/4 inches) and is tightened securely. A loose belt can cause the holster to move. If the issue persists, consider a stiffer gun belt designed for holster carry.
